"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" A man dressed in white tuxedo stepped onto the gleaming mahogany stage. His blue eyes gazed upon front of the hundreds of people were enjoying the games that the luxurious casino offered. "Tonight's jackpot has reached 550 million credits!"

The crowd gave a noticeable but reserved clap with some leaning on their seats in eager anticipation for the man's announcement. "Now if you haven't gotten your lottery tickets there's an only an hour-"

The host turned around seeing a woman stumble on the stage leaning against his arm. "Hey Kato!" Hilal slurred her breath filled with alcoholic Jawa Juice filling the man's nostrils causing him to contort his face in disgust. "Yoouuuu knnnnowwww, you better not hope I win cause I cheat!"

"Young woman......." the host could see confused looks of the crowd some muttering amongst themselves about the young girl swaying back and forth on the stage. "Everybody knows that the key to winning!" Hilal shouted grabbing the microphone from the host. "Is through cheating!"

"It seems that this young lady had too much to drink!" The man laughed nervously attempting to grab the microphone from Hilal. "How old are you? The minimum age to enjoy our fair and balanced games is 18!"

"Oh, up your ass buddy!" Hilal laughing loudly. "It's soooo easy for the casino to manipulate the numbers in their favor! I mean come on! Everything is digitized! The slot machines, the fracking lottery, Poker, Blackjack! Frack especially blackjack!"

The host's eyes rapidly looked around for the security guards, his head filled with sweat. Hilal on the other hand wrapped her arm around his waist pulling him closer to her. "I know how the game is played," Hilal said. "I know your secrets! You wanna play 21, I got 22! You want to play Aces and 8s I got some those too! You wanna- HEY KATO! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

The man slipped from Hilal's grasp as she landed face first onto the ground. "My name is NOT Kato!" The man growled. "It is Dao! And where is security! This woman is clearly drunk! Can this place afford good security for crying out loud!"

"HEEEELLLLOOOO?!??" Hilal was still on the ground yet crawled towards him as if she was stealth operative ready to pounce for the kill. "Casinos cheat!" Hilal said. "I'm just ahead of the cuuuurrrrvvvveeee!"

Ko was initially pretty concerned over coming to Canto Bight, a notorious hive of scum and villainy. Partly fearful that he’d stand out like a sore thumb as a Kel Dor. However, that wasn’t the case at all. There were many, many colorful and diverse characters among the prestigious patrons and gamblers. Despite where he was, he felt strangely comfortable among the various aliens.

But the main thing that concerned the padawan was how closely the world hugged Sith Space, even if it was their less remarkable enclave. Also he’d never been to the Corporate Sector before either, and has heard many horror stories of this region of the galaxy.

Funny thing was that Ko had not planned to be here. There was a grave mistake on the flight he chartered to Coruscant. Some sort of mistake occurred and he was accidentally sent to Cantonica instead, and it wasn’t like Ko could see his own flight ticket to see that it was wrong. It wasn’t until he arrived in the system that he learned that he was deep in the Outer Rim. When he made contact with The Order he explained the debacle he was in. Needing to spend some time on his own until he could get on a flight back to GA space.

Fortunately he just so happened to have some nice clothes to fit the occasion. Since he was going to Coruscant to shadow the senator to learn more about the senate and diplomacy. Now currently in Canto Bight, Ko found himself in a large casino, wearing a sharp brown suit that complimented the earthy tones of his skin. He was just passing time at a sabacc table, making some rather absurd and ridiculous bets that left others scratching their heads in confusion and frustration. This was because Ko couldn’t actually see what cards he had, not that he was going to tell anyone else that he was blind.

With his goggles, mask, and calm demeanor. His ‘sabacc face’ was stellar. Since he wasn’t interested in winning and losing. On a whim Ko decided to keep calling the bets as the rose. At this point the other players at the table just assumed the young Kel Dor couldn’t help himself from constantly bluffing. However, it seemed as though The Force was with him this evening. When he revealed his cards and sensed the thrilling shock of those around over his winning hand. Earning the astonishment and ire of the other gamblers.

Now having made out with a considerably large amount of credits. Ko figured he’d clock out early for the evening back to his hotel room. But his attention was drawn to some sort of struggle happening on a stage close by. He felt a weird sensation in The Force as he brought his focus to the commotion. Hearing the young woman’s voice left Ko with a bizarre mix of emotions, primarily unpleasant ones. The expression hidden under his mask was one of shock as he silently prayed that she wasn’t who he feared she was.

But the familiar signature in The Force left no room for doubt, no matter how much he wished otherwise. Clenching his clawed fists Ko took a few steps closer, ready to tussle with the drunk young lady. She had already managed to put him through quite a lot, and stole his shoto saber. A weapon he made while his other one was missing over similar circumstances. Then Ko froze for a moment, remembering he really should maintain a low profile. Plus Hilal seemed like she was already in plenty of trouble now. Surely security would handle this and deal with her drunken episode. Now Ko only hoped that he didn’t catch her attention. Gradually the iconic Kel Dor began to turn away from her escape this scene and not be the next victim of her public intoxication…

"Security!" The man yelled causing Hilal to stumble around like a bush against the wind. "SECURITY! DO YOUR JOBS!"

Hilal laughed seeing the poor guy going from excited to screaming his lungs out. She didn't know why but it was funny seeing his emotions go from zero to a thousand. "Yeah!" Hilal said. "Why aren't your off your asses and arresting Kato! He's been distubin the peace!"

"IT IS DAO!" The host screamed. "And it's not me who is being disruptive! It's you!"

"Noooooo," Hilal swayed back and forth. "It's you!"

"No you!

"No you!"

"YOU!"

"YOU TIMES GOOGLEPLEX 5!"

Dao desperately looked around and saw a Kel Dor who looked formidable...... "You there sir!" The man shouted. "Please! Can you help with this drunken miscreant!"

"Miscreant!" Hilal spat on the ground. "I'll miscreant your face in a...... wait a minute!" Hilal stumbled off the stage wobbling over towards the Kel Dor. "I know you...... You're that stinking Jedi that I beat back Ukantis eh? What's the matter you want your Lightsaber back?! Well you can't have it!"

"Oh! A Jedi!" Dao said. "Wonderful! Please help!"

Ko’s body froze and tensed up as he was addressed. He turned back towards them, noticing Hilal approaching him. The padawan hoped that she might’ve been too drunk to recognize him, or just confuse him for another Kel Dor or similar alien.

Hearing her taunt him about his missing lightsaber shoto, Ko clenched his fists a bit, wanting to fight her here and now until she’s thrown in Jail. But he wanted to maintain his appearance as just some gambler here and not a Jedi. However, it seemed that cover was blown for him now. Also despite it being Hilal, he had no real interest in fighting a seemingly unarmed and intoxicated woman.

Ko felt a wave of concern wash over him as ‘Dao’ called him a Jedi too. “Oh no no, I’m not a Jedi, I don’t know wh-” In the middle of his nervous rebuttal a harsh voice called out from behind him where he was playing sabacc earlier.

“He’s a Jedi! So that’s how he was cheating!” Ko snapped his head back, noticing the group of players he was with prior. It sounded like him being outed as a Jedi was all the proof they needed for Ko to be a cheater. Which was a pretty serious accusation for an establishment like this.

“Wha- No I’m not a J-Jedi.” But soon enough now the security that Dao had called for had arrived. Ko had no intention of fighting back, and presumably a small drunk woman wouldn’t be able to put up much of a fight against the security team. Ko found it best to keep his mouth shut as he was ushered away along with Hilal to a close-by Jail cell. Why a casino had its own little dungeon under it was a little strange to the padawan, perhaps it was a hold over from a previous point in the building’s history.

Ko and Hilal were shoved into a cell together, instead of simple metal bars they had some sort of energy wall to keep them inside. Not the kind of thing he could just burst through as easily and safely. A guard pressed some numbers into a datapad on the wall, a code before the energy wall formed back up before leaving the padawan and mandalorian stuck in a cell together.

Once they were alone Ko glared at Hilal sternly, “Great, now we’re both in trouble. Happy now Miss Hilal?” He said before letting out a disappointed sigh.

"I CAAANNNNN SNIFF A STINKING JEDI!" Hilal yelled stumbling around her vision began to blur as she began to rapidly blink. Was she going blind? Nah, it was probably getting dark or something! "COME TO FINALLY DIE?!?!?"

Just then, Hilal felt a large arm wrapped around her thin and slender neck. Hilal yelped as she was lifted off her feet. "AY!" Hilal shouted flailing her arms around while kicking her legs in the air. "GET OFF OF ME! YOU SCUM! I GOTTA KILL ME A JEDI!"

Yet Hilal felt a cold shooting sting through her neck as if she received a bug bite. Hilal's already blurry vision already became cloudy and finally darkness took over. A few hours later, Hilal groaned fluttering her eyes open. The first thing that greeted her was a searing pain in her head it felt as though a Gundark used her brain as a punching bag. The young woman growled massaging her temples to relieve the pain but the constant yammering coming from a person. He sounded like he had a megaphone based on how loud he was.

"Pipe it down will ya!" Hilal shook her head trying to concentrate. "What the frack happened? I feel like I got by a Starship just jumping out of hyperspace."

Her vision adjusted, and Hilal's eyes rose up in shock to see a familiar (and handsome) face staring sternly at her. "KO?!" Hilal said. "Why are you?!- OH CHIT!"

Hilal sprang up and went to summon her armor only realize that her watch was missing! "What?!" Hilal exclaimed. "WHERE DID MY WATCH GO?!" No time! The stinking Jedi was going to attack her! The young woman reached out for her Blaster Pistol but that was nowhere in sight. "My weapons! My armor!" Panic began to fill Hilal's body her eyes shifting around and saw that they were in holding cell. "What did you do to me Jedi!" Hilal growled. "Where are we- OW!"

Hilal placed her hand on her head feeling a sharp pain in her temple. "Why do I have a horrible headache?" She moaned.

In the time that was spent with Hilal unconscious, Ko largely kept to himself to try and figure out an escape. Using his Force Sight to peer around and see things that he wasn’t supposed to. He didn’t think that it would be too difficult to get himself out of here. He just needed to do it at the right time and hopefully before Hilal woke up.

Unfortunately for him, such an opportunity didn’t arrive in time. Sensing that the Mandalorian woman was about to awaken he let out a weary sigh. Predicting how she might react to being stuck in a cell with him.

He simply sat on the other side of the cell across from her. Watching spring up to her feet, she seemed far more articulate now in her speech. Ko just sat there as she began to realize that she was without all her fancy gadgets and gizmos. “Well Miss Hilal, I didn’t do anything to you. We’re in this mess since you were acting like a belligerent drunk. Which I’m sure is why you have such a bad hangover, along with what I assumed were tranquilizers as well.” Ko explained in a straightforward manner, although there was some clear irritation in his voice.

Although if he was being honest, he was a little worried that using sedatives on her while she was drunk might have harmed her. Even though she was a vicious Mandalorian, he didn’t want her overdosing in a jail cell. So even if an opportunity did arrive for him to escape easily, he may have held off on it. Not that he would ever admit such a thing.

“So in case you can’t remember, we’re in jail at Canto Bight…” Ko explained, still sitting across from her on the floor.

"Acting like a drunk? What?" Her head still throbbing Hilal frowned at Ko giving him a look as if he was crazy. "That's insane, I don't get-"

Then it hit her, all of a sudden of memories filled Hilal's mind with her time at Canto Blight. She remembered losing at the Casinos as usual before she found a magazine called the Standard with the articles written by some nerf herder named: Poppy Aston Sloane Poppy Aston Sloane . What drew Hilal's ire, was the article chronicling the battle of Utakis and how Jonyna Si Jonyna Si was saying that Hilal was trying to MURDER HER CHILDREN! As soon as Hilal read those lines, she wanted to scream, to grab that fracking furry chit head and break her other arm. She was having her name slandered for doing her job as a Mandalorian warrior! Yet Hilal is slandered as a murderer while the Jedi cry and moan about how much of a victim they were?! They attacked first!

The young woman didn't want to cause a scene, so she bought some glasses of Jawa Juice. What Hilal forgot to ask was for a non-alcoholic type considering she gets drunk rather easily. "Oh wonderful," Hilal slowly gotten to her feet though her legs where as stable as burnt sticks. "I probably got injected with anti-drunken serum. It gets rid of the alcohol and straight to a withdrawal." Hilal groaned looking at the ray shield in front of her.

"So you've come to kill me?" Hilal asked not looking at Ko. "Come to take your Lightsaber? Well guess what? I don't have it on me. So your Jedi weapon is far beyond your reach!"

Ko listened to Hilal, and if he could roll his eyes he would as she seemingly began to remember some of what was going on. Watching her get up he almost instinctively wanted to help support her up. The well mannered gentleman inside of him didn’t want her to fall over and hurt herself. But he felt himself from doing that.

He could tell she was quite stubborn and probably wanted nothing to do with him. She also was an enemy so there was no reason to look after her well being. “Actually no, I’m here by accident because… Wait, I don't need to tell you why I’m here in Cantonica.” As Ko spoke he gradually got up to his feet as well, leaning against the wall behind him and keeping his focus on the hungover young woman before him. “I’m stuck in this cell with you because you outed me as a Jedi, so folks thought I was cheating and threw me in here… Probably looking to hand me over to the Sith over at Dromund Kaas…” Ko said with some concern in his voice. Recognizing the danger of being so close to the Sith enclave nearby. Not wanting to get captured by them and likely spark another incident like with the Mandalorians.


“But now that you mentioned it, Miss Hilal, I would indeed like to have my shoto back. It’s quite embarrassing having my weapons taken by Mandalorians.” He figured she had it with her other stuff. Imagining she took her own ship here where it might be stored. “Unfortunately if you don’t have it, I guess I can just leave you behind here while I escape.” Ko added, with a bit of a shrug.

"Good," Hilal said with an slight hint of a smug satisfaction in her voice. "It's reminder of how much you failed Jedi, thankful I didn't chop off that handsome head of yours."

Hilal paused as soon as she said that her ears feeling as if they were dipped in hot boiling water. She said it again did she? That she found Ko attractive, at first, Hilal thought her crush on Ko was due to the adrenaline that was constantly coursing through her body. But the feelings for Ko still lingered even after she ripped Ko's mask and filled his mouth with Dioxis Gas. The Jedi would've been dead if it weren't for his latent bullchit Jedi powers. In hindsight, Hilal was actually relieved that he survived. The same couldn't be said for Joyna and her other apprentice: Rayia Si Rayia Si who turned into a hulking creature and destroyed both of her armors.

"And how you gonna do that genius?" Hilal huffed when Ko said that he was going to escape without her. "This cell is ray shielded and it also has a function that will set off alarms if its manipulated."

Of course, like many security systems there is a flaw in the system but Hilal isn't going to tell Ko that...... yet. "You're gonna need me on this one handsome." Hilal smirked. "I know how to bypass this."

Ko clenched his fist some as spoke of it being a reminder of his ‘failure’. But was caught off guard some as she called him handsome. “Errg, You know you don’t have to keep saying that you know. I get it already.” The Kel Dor replied to her, clearly feeling like she was only saying that to him ironically to mess with him. That Hilal was just being cruel since she was one of the few that have ever even seen his face after she stripped him off his mask.

“And well, I didn’t say that I’d guarantee a stealthy get away now did I?” Ko retorted. “And I don’t need the help of some hung over young lady either.” He added stubbornly. Still viewing her as an opponent he had no desire to work with at the moment. Crossing his arms he leaned back against the cell wall and let out a sigh.

“I know the code to deactivate the ray shield. I watched the guard do it on the other side of the wall.” Ko explained to her, if not for his Force Sight it would’ve been impossible for him to have observed the buttons they pushed to more easily free them off the cell without needing to tear apart the ray shield itself and possibly make things more hectic and worse for them. Perhaps whatever method she had in mind would work better though. “You’d don’t even know the guard patrol schedules either. Even if you know how to bypass it, you’ll surely run into one of them.” As much as Ko would hate to admit it, it seemed as though the two of them might actually need each other now to make a clean escape. Hilal had her technical know-how, and Ko had his enhanced perception.
